Skill

FM/BS-509.V1.00 - HALO drop – High Altitude, Low Opening

Skill

Has the chute deployed at low altitude to minimize the time spent under canopy. To increase precision, a HALO jumper maneuvers his body during free-fall to get as close to the desired landing site as possible before deploying his chute. As a general rule, a HALO drop should begin to deploy chutes no later than 200 meters above ground level it can take time for the chute to fully deploy. Depending on the anti-air threat, deploying higher may be viable as well.
